Marty wanted an early morning run and I guess buoyed by my efforts yesterday I agreed. Met him on Aranda Ovals at 6.30am and James Minto had come along too. This helped as Jimbo had done the race yesterday too so 2 of us to slow Marty down. Enjoyable early morning run through AIS, Kaleen, UC and back over Gossan Hill so Marty could show us the greatly enlarged cairn up there. Felt pretty ok given yesterday but glad to end.

Runners Shop 10k. Course starts on "beach" near Boathouse and heads along bike path towards airport. Turn around after 3k then back through start finish area towards Commonwealth Park. Turn around at 8k mark at orange gravel and back to finish. Didn't know how it would go but plan was to race it rather than focus on time.
Started out downwind and in with Nick Walsh and Dan Carson. Both faster than me but was feeling ok. Also looked over shoulder and noone at slightly slower place to run with so tucked in. Got to turn around feeling comfortable. Turned back into the wind and got a little harder and knew it was going to be when I dropped off these guys, not if. Chuckled when I went through 5k at 18.08, i.e. another 18min 0x time even though it was 10k. Had considered surging to break 18 but thought better of it - wish I'd done it now!
I was barely hanging on to the guys when we got out into the open at 6k and the wind really hit. Dropped off the peleton pretty immediately and focussed on keeping form and pace by myself. 8th k was the worst with massive headwind. Turned at 8k and tried to hold on for home. Did 37.55 in a 10k last year so when I could see sub 37 was a possibility I had some incentive. At about 9.5k thought I wasn't gonna go sub 37 but got a fair way under in the end. Had dropped 40s on Nick and Dan in last 4k which I thought was pretty good effort. Very happy with time.
Finished 7th overall and first in my old mans age class although Shaun Creighton was way ahead of me and he's an older old mans class.

Cool down with Nick and Simeon. Nick said 2k cool down was his limit and we didn't disagree.

10* half lappers with 1min rest. Super windy so trying to keep up with Sam so could sit in behind him into the wind Tour de France style. Felt like had a bit more speed than a month or so ago.
